Hi Greg,

MS4W should have no problems running on Windows7.  Yes MS4W does 
configure Apache and PHP for use with MapServer.  I recommend that you 
try the MS4W package, and then if you run into any questions jump on 
over to the MS4W users mailing list and fire your questions there 
(subscribe at http://lists.maptools.org/mailman/listinfo/ms4w-users).

I don't know the EasyPHP package, but for sure MS4W does not contain 
MySQL; but MapServer in MS4W is configured to read/write MySQL.

Thanks.
